We envision a zoo in the heart of Greenville, SC, that is dedicated to animal care, education, conservation and the enjoyment of the community. It will be a place where our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will laugh and learn—a place we can be proud of. Greenville became a special city by creating family-friendly destinations. We envision a zoo that continues that tradition by building on the Greenville Zoo’s already solid foundation.

The Greenville Zoo Foundation is dedicated to bringing this vision to life, through fundraising and advocacy programs for the Zoo.

Conservation

The Greenville Zoo is proud to partner with Furman University for our Conservation Lecture Series, funded through The Greenville Zoo Conservation Fund.

Citizen science is where the public volunteers time to assist scientists in their research. Citizen scientists can support professional researchers in a lot of ways – by submitting data, sharing experiences or spreading valuable information.

The Greenville Zoo Foundation is a non-profit organization that serves as an independent community outreach group, whose purpose is to provide financial, resource and advocacy support for the needs of the Greenville Zoo.

As a 501(c)3 organization, the Greenville Zoo Foundation’s efforts assist the Zoo in completing its mission to service the Upstate of South Carolina by promoting an appreciation of nature and wildlife while providing innovative programs for education and conservation.
